QUOTE (DBAHO @ Jul 11, 2010 -> 10:40 AM) Great stage today. Armstrong is done, crashed twice and couldn't get back to the leaders in the climbs. He finished around 7 or 8 mins back from the lead group. Andy Schleck won, Evans has the yellow jersey, Schleck is 20 secs behind and Contador's 3rd 61 secs behind. Armstrong lost roughly 11:30 on todays stage. I was actually more surprised to see Wiggins struggle as much as he did since Sky carried the tempo for quite a bit of the race early on. It was a terrific stage and I find it interesting that everyone was waiting on Contador to follow the accelerations towards the end. Astana definitely looked strong today.

^I don't believe there is a team time trial this year. Last year was the first time in a few years that they had it. It tends to eliminate guys who are on weaker teams but would be in contention otherwise (Evans and Sastre are two great examples last year). Frank getting hurt destroys Andy. Frank was always around Andy in the mountains last year. Cancellara will help Andy when he can but he will be dropped in the mountains. O'Grady and Voight arn't young guys anymore. I think it will fall on Jakob Fuglsang, who rode well in the Tour de Suisse. Such an awesome tour so far. I can't wait for an awesome battle between Contador, Schleck and Evans. Hopefully the big three Shack guys are right there too. Let's go Saxo Bank!!! Ryder Hesjedal has rode great too!!!

The second announcement was just the money was going to Boys and Girls Clubs and the University of Phoenix was donating five scholarships to LeBron's charity.

QUOTE (beckham15 @ Jul 8, 2010 -> 09:01 PM) what was the other announcement? Hasn't said anything yet. Maybe Lee to the Warriors for Randolph.

QUOTE (scenario @ Jul 8, 2010 -> 08:58 PM) Another announcement? Who's watching it right now besides people in Miami? I'm still watching. I'm excited to see everything play out on the court.

So what do the Bulls do now? Korver? Miller? Morrow? What's the deal with the offer to Miller from the Heat?

So what happens so SAS now?!

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 8, 2010 -> 08:36 PM) I just want to apologize to Kobe Bean Bryant for all the hatred I've spewed your way for years. You're not Jordan. But you're so close. Please, deny this motherf***er a ring. You're my only hope. He's our white knight now!

Kobe, light these losers up!

Fail.

"Um, this um whole um free agent process um I'm looking forward um to it." It's over you jackass.

I feel like I'm going insane.

QUOTE (beckham15 @ Jul 8, 2010 -> 08:19 PM) chrisbosh I thought they said the first 10 minutes! Lol 1 minute ago via UberTwitter ugh such a douche bag That doesn't annoy me actually, he probably isn't in Wade and LeBron's circle of trust so he has no idea what's going on.

QUOTE (SoxFanForever @ Jul 8, 2010 -> 08:18 PM) Come to the Bulls or die please. Wow, I bet you've used that line with girls before.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 8, 2010 -> 08:15 PM) i got a promotion today, but i'm probably still gonna go to bed pissed. Congrats.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 8, 2010 -> 08:15 PM) I wonder what the ratings for the Indians/Rangers game from 9-10 est will be? I wonder how many guys in the bullpen will be in the clubhouse watching ESPN.

I'm just waiting for "the city of Chicago has received the fewest votes and is eliminated."

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 8, 2010 -> 08:07 PM) Oh, did I miss an announcement? It's Bulls or Cavs, BOOK IT. Steve-Five!

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 8, 2010 -> 08:03 PM) Bless you, Jon Barry! +1

I've only heard Broussard on the radio. For some reason I pictured dreadlocks.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Jul 8, 2010 -> 07:58 PM) My daughter is insisting we watch High School Musical. Do I do it? Not a chance. After all these years, just one more hour.

Did anyone notice on the DirecTV menu it says "Series" on the guide?! This annoys me so much but is so exciting at the same time.

I have come to expect the Heat with a slight chance for the Cavs. I agree with everyone saying anywhere but Miami. The one weird thing about all of this is if he goes to Miami and plays Kobe in the finals, I will for the first time in my life cheer for Kobe (quite possibly my all-time most personally cheered against athlete, although I've gained more respect for him lately). I really want him to come to Chicago but I won't let myself get my hopes up too high.

Wasn't LBJ a Bulls fan growing up? Wouldn't the childhood dreams help the Bulls?

I stop reading for a few hours and it takes forever to catch up. Can anyone share the story about Delonte West and LeBron's mom?
